I am an INXS fan, and X is my favourite album of them all. All songs are fantastic, from the first to the last, the hits and the ones not chosen to be singles are beautiful tunes, and all of them have great lyrics. The band members show how much they have grown with age and touring, moreover, they don't get stuck and repeat the successful formula they have achieved with Kick, but they push it forward instead. They still sound as rocker as they used to, you will find some similarities in the way the songs are composed, but you won't find resemblance between this songs and the ones in Kick. Besides the radio hits we all know by now, there are more insightful, deeper and personal songs: Fiath in each other invites everybody to work for a better world to live in, Who pays the price is about not blaming someone else for your own mistakes, The Stairs make us recognize ourselves in others and Hear that sound tells you when in doubt you have to listen to your heart.
